Chocolatey

Chocolatey is a software installer that we'll need to install user-mode PowerShell (called "powershell.portable" or just "pwsh") in the event you cannot get your local PowerShell to run. Admin-mode PowerShell comes out of the box with Windows 10, but local execution policies prevent it from running.

We also need PowerShell to install scoop.

You probably won't need Chocolatey anymore since Scoop will solve most if not all of our needs, but there might be software that only Chocolatey can install that Scoop cannot.
